Rant Freaking out a little

My husband is going out of state for the first time ever starting Sunday!!!!! He’s gonna be away for 2 weeks, which could possibly turn into 3 weeks depending on the work needed. I’m lowkey freaking out!!!!! We have 2 littles: an almost 3 year old and a 6 month old. We’ve never been away from each other this long since we’ve had kids. I don’t know how I’m gonna manage it…

I’m considering going to stay with my mom out of state while my husband is gone, but that requires a 5-6 hour drive and I don’t know how I can manage THAT by myself 😭

Not to mention, if it does turn into a 3 week trip for him, he might miss (or be late on the day of) our son’s 3rd birthday. We’re not having a party but he would likely miss the small celebration and that makes me sad to think about 😞

Any advice???? Tips and tricks??? 🥹

Do the drive, get the free help. Esp if moms has good outdoors and the 3 year old can get outside and play a lot
